Midnight Brunch

A Meal for the children of the night

Ghosts, vampires, zombies, werewolves, mummies and other frightful creatures meet for a brunch at midnight! You hold three special Midnight cards and five Call cards of a backside color. Five Brunch decks of varying values are shuffled separately and stacked face-down in the middle.

The top card of all Brunch decks is revealed; each player is dealt one face-down monster from the monster deck. Now you try to invite more monsters to get as near as possible to a total value of 15 without topping this value; in turn, you can ask for one new openly displayed monster card. If you think that you have invited enough monsters, you say “Brunch” and put your face-down monster next to your open ones, then you can play a Midnight card to change the value of one card in the display, albeit only one per round. When all players have announced “Brunch”, each player secretly selects one of his Call cards. Then it is revelation time: You turn up the face-down monster card, any midnight card you played and your Call card. If only one player has played a call card for a Brunch card, he takes this card. When several players have opted for the same Brunch card, the card goes to the player with a monster total nearest to 15. In case of a tie, a display without a Midnight card wins the Brunch card. If you do not get your intended card, you get - if available - a card of lower value. After six such rounds you win with most points on your Brunch cards.

Again, a very nice game in the “Brunch” series, with individual rules based on the mechanics of open and face-down cards - nice family entertainment for bigger groups.
